Woman November 28 1959 Page 32

When a mother cares-it shows
When a mother cares-it shows. It shows in her face, in her unconscious look of pride when she watches her children playing happily with other children.
It shows in the way her children always bring their troubles to her, confident that she'll put everything right in their small world.
It shows in the extra care she takes in choosing food, clothes or anything that affects her family's well-being.
It shows in the trouble she takes over choosing a washing powder which will look after their clothes. .
It shows in the fact that she chooses Persil because Persil gets clothes just that important bit whiter.
Persil is safe. Persil is gentle. Persil is the soap powder that leaves no scum. Persil is kind to hands, kind to washing machines, too. And Persil washes whiter.
 It shows all right-Small 7d (about 8 cents)? Medium 1/-(about 14 cents) Large 2/-(about 28 cents)? Big 2/11 (about 41 cents)?-Persil washes whiter ( . . . and it shows)

The average price of a new home then was $12400 about 2.48 times the yearly average wage of $5010. Which was about 2.28 times the price of a new car $2200. Today?
